On Friday, we started our (and hopefully your) weekend off with a bang by doing what we do. And what we do, is occasionally fill-in on East Village Radio for our pal Jason, during his Accidental Rhythm show. In case you weren't tuned in (in which case....psssshhaw on you!), here's what went down.

With a last minute "hey girl hey, can you come on down and dish out some tunes" request, there wasn't enough hours in the day for me to get my ish together and do something super rad. But that's where friends, family and the fantastic Hesta Prynn came to the rescue. Pop-ins from my friend Samantha, my sister and her husband (check out their band) and the former Northern State singer all helped make the show a robust beast of a two-hour shindig.

I also announced that my own show will be starting this week on July 15, and it's gonna happen on the regular, every Thursday from 8-10pm! (more on that later) And there was music. Good stuff too. Including No Mercy's Where Do You Go. THAT's how we roll.

Full playlist of the program is below. Again, if you missed it, grrrr, but you can still stream it here.

As has been customary over the past few weeks, Monday morning brings bundles of fun...most notably in the form of a tidy rundown of what happened in the East Village Radio booth the Friday prior, thanks to a Beastly fill-in during the Accidental Rhythm program. Today, we up the rad factor by not only recapping last week's show activities, but we're also tossing out an exclusive bit of awesomeness.

Friday was all sorts of hot thanks to a pop-in from Dominique Young Unique, a wealth of fresh and favorite tracks to spin...all leading up to the premiere play of the JetLag remix of Tokyo Police Club's Breakneck Speed. JetLag is one part Andy Rourke and one part Ole Koretsky, resulting in a dancefloor-worthy mix that is all parts amazing.

You can grab the mp3 of the mix exclusively on Sheena Beaston (below the entire show's playlist) or over on East Village Radio. Either way, you all win.

To listen to last week's show, give an ear to the archived program here.

If the saying is true that the "third time's a charm", then by golly, I'm swimming in a sea of gems and trinkets and pretty little baubles and things. Ok, so maybe that's an exaggeration, but when I round out my 3-week stint on East Village Radio tomorrow, there's only one way to celebrate properly. And that's by bringing in one of my favorite new artists...and she's soon to be yours as well.

The long and the short of it goes as such: Accidental Rhythm takes place this Friday, June 11, from 4-6pm EST. It's our last round of filling in for Jason Eldredge while he's been on vacation. I might cry...this has been too much fun.

I'll have special guest, Dominique Young Unique, in the booth with me during the time slot to chat about her music, preview her show tomorrow night at Webster Hall (tickets here), have a rad time, and to debut some exclusive first listens to tracks from her brand new mixtape, Domination. I've had a listen to the offering in its entirety...and let's just say, it's been the only thing I've had on all morning. On repeat. Again and again.

I'm labeling this show a "must tune in". Hey, or you could swing by the booth to high five us and take pictures. That would be cool too.

Just a quick recap of last Friday's fun in the sun. It sure was a hot one, both out on the street and inside the East Village Radio booth. No special guests this go round, but a special feature did appear, and we ran an open-submission contest and got a ton of you to toss your ditties my way. Great stuff.

And you know what? We had such a beastly blast jumping behind the mic again, that we're doing it a third time! We're back on-air this Friday, June 11 from 4-6pm, filling in for Jason on Accidental Rhythm. It's his last week of vacation. Whatever will I do with my time once he's back? (quick, someone kidnap him now!)

Without further ado...another congratulations to Sleet Walker for his winning entry/remix of Uffie's Pop the Glock. And below, the full playlist of last week's edition, or if you've yet to listen, do so because the show is archived right here.

Again, we got you covered this Friday. The special specialness I'm rolling out this week is yet to be made mention of it. I like to tease with teasers and aural pleasers.

Well we just about had the raddest time ever this past Friday. Jumping into the East Village Radio booth to cover for our buddy Jason's Accidental Rhythm show, we brought out a bit of inner and outermost beast, spun some killer new tunes, and had our new pals, Jason and Eleanore from The Hundred in the Hands, pop in to have a chat and play a few of their own selections as well.

If you missed the live show, and really you shouldn't have because it was a hoot and a half, then you can always hit up the EVR archives and stream the set as it appeared and sounded when in real time. Killer, right? You can grab the May 28, 2010 edition here and now.

Wondering what we played? Full on track list is below (thanks Anthony), and after that The Hundred in the Hands brand new video for Tom Tom is ready for you to view.

BONUS! We're doing it again this Friday. "It" being doing our fill-in-for-a-friend duty and hosting the 4-6pm time-slot to set your weekend at go speed! Special guest TBA, and you have no reason not to tune in.

Way back when I was but a fledgling beast of less than "double digits" years old, my wildest "when I'm grown up" dream was to become a radio DJ who also was the first female president and a major league baseball player. Shenanigans! Thankfully, the latter two were fleeting and flighty at best, probably thanks to something I saw on tv or overheard my siblings waxing on about. The former is a "hell yeah" moment that we get to live out tomorrow!

Our buddy, Jason, who normally hosts the two hours of stellar music programming on Fridays from 4-6pm on East Village Radio, decided to jet outta town and take a vacation. Deservedly so, but lucky for us, he's entrusting his end-of-the-work-week time-slot to this beast, and color me all sorts of excited.

I'm ready to spin rad tunes, stutter over my words, and generally speaking, let you all listen to my ramblings. It'll be like you're reading this site, only you get to hear me in your ears too. Kickass! One of my latest "obsessed about" bands, The Hundred in the Hands, will also be dropping by the booth during that time to talk shop and help me play some killer tunes.

It's the Friday before Memorial Day too...so when that 5'o'clock whistle blows tomorrow, you better be tuned in (here) while I drop a dandy banger to set your long weekend off on the right foot. Let's get rad!
